Morpeth teacher in charity abseil
A teacher at Chantry Middle School in Morpeth raised more than ã1,000 for the Stroke Association in the first abseil off Newcastle's Byker Bridge.
Hannah Barnard's father, Jonty, was hit by a stroke when Hannah was only eight and confined to a wheelchair.
After treatment he was able to walk again and on Saturday he was there to cheer his daughter all the way down.
More than 100 people made the 80ft drop from the bridge to Ouseburn Farm to raise money for stroke sufferers and their families and the charity event made around ã10,000.
We'd like to hear from you. Send your stories, pics and videos to northumberland@ncjmedia.co.uk
